Well I guess that took longer than I expected... At least this chapter is over 1k word count. I wrote this during the blackout from the snowstorm in season 2 of CF not sure if it fits in with the timeline but it is an AU so lets just imagine it does.

Also, to the guest that asked me to stop in the review section, don't read if you don't like, but if my grammar is really that bad you should just mention why you don't like it.

Ok, let's continue...

There were too many problems at once.

Jay's badge.

Ally's father.

Intelligence Unit.

Antonio.

They avoided all of them.

Once Jay finally got Antonio back on his side along with a bruised temple, he got his badge back.

The Intelligence Unit was still frustrating for Jay, knowing they did not trust him entirely.

But life went on, and he had to decide to keep up with life or stay in the past.

Now all that was left was the one thing Gabby did not want to talk about.

Ally's father.

After the usual crap of Intelligence Jay found himself in the familiar route to Gabby's place.

He honestly had no clue how to ask.

'Hey... So what is this about her father?'

He was tempted to just ask Antonio, but he knew Gabby would get angry and Antonio might refuse anyways.

He spent a nice evening with who he liked to call his lovely ladies. Gabby always smiled at this nickname. Once Ally had gone to bed one snowy night Gabby saw the oncoming topic and tries to change the subject.

"Gabby, we need to discuss Ally's father."

She sighed.

"It's just..."

"I get it. But I need to know, was there more?"

"Well, he moved into my place and we started signing things together. We planned, or at least I planned on getting married. We were happy. I found out I was pregnant and was actually excited to tell him. He mentioned had mentioned kids before."

At this point Gabby needed to take a deep breath.

Jay kept his arm around her shoulders.

"I told him. He was surprised, like me. Then he asked me why it was a big deal. It was not like we were going to keep the baby."

Gabby felt the tears sting in her eyes, but was comforted by his soft ones.

"I told him it was against my beliefs to kill a baby. And he said that he didn't want it. Trying to make excuses that it was sick or something. Suddenly the argument died down, he finished with, 'ok.' We went to bed planning to discuss more in the morning. I wake up to find my personal stuff packed and in suitcases at the door. "You want to keep the baby, you have to leave."

"Wait isn't it..."

"He had started signing documents putting the place in his name. It belonged to him. I guess I did that to myself. So at that point, all i had was two suitcases of stuff and whatever i could take in one carry to the car. I had my car still, thank God. I found myself at Antonio's house by lunch. "

"It was just him home..." She chuckled.

"He was so mad, he was raging, red as a tomato. But, being the big brother he is, he let me stay with him and his family until we could find a place to set me up in. I took off work for awhile, contemplating what to do. Soon someone mentioned that he had sold the apartment and disappeared. I explained the story to Boden and whoever needed to know. About 8 months later I had Alyson Rosalie Dawson. Her uncle Tonio was the first one to hold her. The other girls had their husbands, I had my brother. I couldn't have been more thankful, his family was so helpful."

Jay smiled.

"I looked at her, and I saw so much hope. The future looked good. I saw everything I had in her. My family, my firehouse, friends and a good home. I saw nothing of him in her, maybe God knew I didn't need that. He never contacted us.

"If he did Antonio would have beat him to a pulp I imagine..." Jay noted.

"Without hesitation, and frankly who would stop him?" She said as she took a sip of her beer.

Just then the electricity cut out with a bang.

"Well crap." Gabby exclaimed.

It's pitch black outside." Jay observed.

"MOMMY!" A high pitched scream came from the hallway.

Jay's eyes hadn't adjusted yet to the darkness, so he had no clue as to where Ally was.

Suddenly, something hit his leg, thinking it was the coffee table he backed up.

Last time he checked, coffee tables don't hold onto your leg.

"Mommy?" Ally choked through tears.

"This is Jay... You're mommy is getting something to make it light again."

He felt her tug closer at his pant leg with holding as much jean fabric as her little fists could.

He pulled her into his arms and cautiously headed in the same direction that Gabby went.

"I got five candles and three flashlights." Gabby announced as a settle glow of a candle entered the living room.

Jay felt Ally relax and make no effort to leave his arms. She tugged at the sleeves of her pajamas.

Gabby's landline phone rang.

"Hey, Tonio your power out too?"

"Yeah, but we still have heat, you guys?"

"We do but something exploded down the street, electricity probably."

"Yikes, you guys are always welcomed over here if you do lose power, but I wouldn't try if you don't have to."

Gabby glanced at Jay. "Why?"

"Traffic lights are out and so are security camera which bring a lot of attention to the amount of cover the gangs and free roamers have at the moment."

"Ok, thanks."

"Sis, I hate to invade your personal space, but is Jay with you guys?"

"Yeah he's here." Which caught Jay's attention.

"Thats good, you guys are somewhat safe with him there can you put him on please?"

She motioned for him to come to the phone as he set down Ally on the couch.

"Hey, listen Antonio..."

"Man, I honestly don't care to worry about you guys. I trust both of you. Frankly, i'm happy you are there, blackouts sometimes..."

"Can make people think the purge actually exists."

"Yeah, are you armed?"

"Yes, concealed."

"Ok, as long as you got something. I gotta go, take care of them tonight."

"With my life."

Gabby had a rechargeable nightlight for Ally, so soon she was asleep in her bed.

It was getting late when Gabby stifled a yawn.

"I got the couch." Jay noted, not entirely sure if she would care.

She gave him a look that gave him his answer before she opened her mouth.

"I know you've had some back problems. You need to sleep on a bed. Besides, I wouldn't mind company if you don't mind."

He chuckled as she lead him to her room. Taking off his jeans and staying in his T-shirt and boxers. Gabby already layered the bed with multiple blanket layers.

When they were both tucked under the sheets with gabby in sweats and a T-shirt they smiled at each other from their pillows.

"Thanks for letting me sleepover."

"Well I think it's ok. Ma always told me not to have boys in my room."

They laughed.

"Good night hot mama."

"Goodnight handsome cop."

I hope you liked it! I can't promise a certain date I will have the next chapter in by but I hope for a week to two weeks. Not sure what the next chapter will hold. Also, with this chapter I was thinking I forgot to add necessary detail to something, but now I cannot remember what it was. DM me or mention it in a review if you notice something.

Thanks for reading
